I was in a band in my college years that played this "indie / experimental" instrumental rock. We only played maybe a dozen shows that were sparsely attended. There's one show we played that had at least 50-100 people, but that was because we opened for a semi-popular local band. In 2003-2004, just about when I left the band, we recorded an album in on of the band member's bedroom. I doubt more than a handful of people have ever listened to it.

This album is on Spotify. If it has any listens it's probably because I listened to it, or maybe another one of the former band members did.

Alright what is it. Now I want to hear it.
Album is _Hurt Seconds_ by The Shy Trafficker. I'll warn you that it's a long poorly recorded slog. There's a couple songs with some vocals but most of it is instrumental. Instrumental rock tends to be pretty unpopular I've found so I felt like the "warning" was needed.
Well Explosions in the Sky do pretty well.
